Hi

You're assigning a not valid IP-Number as IP-Address. 
172.16.0.0 is a network address, not an IP-number for NICs.
Try to assign 172.16.0.2 for this NIC(network interface card).
Some informations about IP-Addresses can be found in the
subnetworking mini HOWTO. BTW you should change those addresses
to 192.168.xxx.xxx because these are for internal use and do not
exist in the normal internet.
